Important Information

Bare Feet is an arts and performance project staged, rehearsed and presented mainly by children living on, or formerly living on the streets of Lusaka, Zambia. The project provides an opportunity for children or young people to have their voices heard, offers a channel to express themselves, showcase their talent and discuss topics or issues that they feel are important to them. Through the use of drama, aerobatics, creative writing and carnival, the children are allowed to play, create, laugh and learn… it allows them to be children.

In August some of the young people will be visiting the UK and monies raised at this fundraising event will provide accommodation and African food while in London.

Not so important information

It’s Juliet’s birthday! No presents but please come and support this fantastic project and join in the celebrations!

In celebration of all things vocal, Sense of Sound has decided to host a special Singing Masterclass. This rare treat will be presented by the artistic directors who are the brains behind the nationally acclaimed Sense of Sound Choir and are considered to be among the best and most inspirational vocal coaches in the country.

Sense of Sound has always understood that the art of great performance is not solely about technique, but also about instilling singers with passion, energy and, most importantly, confidence.
If you relish the opportunity to sing some amazing original choral arrangements, learn challenging new vocal techniques and have a fantastic experience, then please register your interest by contacting the office NOW!

This class will take place in LIVERPOOL on Saturday 5th July 2008 from 10am-4pm.
